This pretty woodland flower appears from a patch of mottled green and brown leaves in mid-April, only to disappear fully, leaves and all shortly thereafter. Last year I all-but missed its bloom. We did some major work leveling our backyard a good number of years ago and I wasn't sure these flowers would survive it. But I've got a nice little patch of these unusual flowers that come back each spring.
We've dug out a new garden in an unattractive area around the house. Hope to make it look a little nicer. The soil is quite poor there so we dug in some mulch from the mulch pile we keep. Hope we enriched the soil enough. Thinking of putting in some hostas to soften the hard edges there. Maybe some other shade lovers, too.
